The item ran thus— by money expended in wages for unlading the cargoes of ships, &c. and extraordinary disburse ments incurred tor improvements and accommo ', dations not vrovided for by the increased capital. It appeared also, that' they debited themselves to the amount of 68,0001. which was not accounted for. The Ship-owners complained that they were obliged to go into those docks, where they were charged 16s. a ton, while they could have their business done in the out-ports for 4s. a ton, and in the Port of London itself for 3s. They did not ask for any relief from this, but they trusted the House would take care that the burden should not be rendered greater than was intended. He', concluded by moving for the Accounts of the Company, distinguishing the extraordinary dis bursetneuts, and the appropriation of several ba lances, from the years 1808 to 1806. Mr. ASTELL denied that the charge of the Duck Company amounted to I6s. in the ton ; it was but 1-Is ; and from that suns 2s. was deducted if the outward docks were not used. The dividends had never exceeded, nor even equalled, the amount allowed by Parliament. The first dividend, which took place in 1807, was five per cent. ; that con tinued for two years—the next five years it W4S six per cent.--one year it was six and a half per cent. and now it was seven—averaging altogether about six. per cent. Mr. MARRYATT contended that the accounts should be produced, in order to she w that the Company had not exceeded the Act of Parlia ment. Mr: Alderman Atkins, Sir W. Curtis, and Mr. Money, defended the Dock Companies•.— Mr. Thotwon and Mr. Protheroe complained of the inadequaCy of mull. accou❑ts. The motion was then agreed to, as also a mo tion for the Balances in the hands of Dock Com panies a► different times. • Mr. D. GILBERT obtained leave to bring in a Bill to regulate the Office of Lord Justice General of Scotland. FORGED BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES. The CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER having suggested that it might be convenient to the House, if, at this late hour (eleven ►►• clock), the Hon. and Learned Gentleman opposite (Sir J. Mackintosh) would consent to.postpone his mo tion, Sir J. MAcKasrrosti said, he had already pot it off from day to day, and unless the Right Hon Gentleman could ensure him a hearing, either to morrow, or previous to the separate discussion on the affairs t)f the-Bank, fixed for Finlay, he had no alternative but to avail himself of the present opportunity. CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER 1101 being able to give bon this assurance, Sir J. MacKiNrosts declared his regret at being obligt,l thus late to call the attenti on o f th e House to the important subject of which he.had given notice; bur he would endeavour to abridge , what he iisd to say as much as possible. About two months ago he had moved for returns of the i number of prosecutions and convictions for for- , gerics of Bat of England Notes, for 14 years before - the Suspension of Bank Payments, and for the same period since. These accounts had not beta deliv,red tiff this moment (they had just been brought up), and therefore he could not avail himself of them ; but from several others he should make some serious statements. He should move for an account of the expenses of the Bank for prosecutions for forgeries ; and he suspected this would be objected to, on the ground that the House had no right to interfere with the private transactions of the Bank ; but in consequence of the multitude of these prosecutions, the affairs of the Bank could no longer he considered as pri vate. The suspension of Bank payments had been productive of an enormous public evil, that of tainting and corrupting the morals of the people, and leading them to depravity and death, by the commission of certain crimes in number unex ampled. This was his case. From certain re, turns he could chew that for seven years before the suspension there were no prosecutions by the Bank for forgery ; for seven years after it, there were 222, °misting the year 1797, as the inter mediate one between the payments and the ope ration of the Act. For 14 years before the sits pension, there were only four prosecutions, and for Jourteen after, 469. Taking 21 years before it, the number would he six, and the same time after, 850; the proportion then was 6.t0 850. . He would ask whether there was to be found in the,history of our criminal law, or in that of any other country, so sudden an increase of crime at any former period ? This statement involved-more argument than it was possible for any words to convey, and he might here almost close his remark's ; but he wished to answer an asser tion, that the forgeries of Bank Notes bad de creased prosecutions for coining. Unfortunately the returns from the Mint slimed that these prosecu tions had increased, though gradually, and almost silently, since 1783. In the returns from the Mint, the proportion was, for fourteen years be fore and after, not much more than double in the second titan in the first fourteen years. 'But if the prosecutions for coining were nearly treble in 21 years, those for Bank-notes were 120 times as great. This extraordinary event ought to be ac counted for by all who argued the question. He desired to know what other cause could be as signed than the circulation of small notes ? At first they were only a million and a half, now they were seven or eight millions. This was the sole cause of those dreadful crimes, and it was shocking to think that the punishment was more inflexibly executed than for any other crime except murder. The Honourable and Learned Gen- tleman proceeded to descant on the various moral consequences arising from the Bank Sus pension Act. He ascribed to it the abatement of highway robberies, as the forging of notes proved a more lucrative traffic, carried on, not by open violation, but by fraud stud deceit. The Bill for ditninishing the circulation of Country _ Bank notes he considered a measure which ought to be called, a Bill for the Increase of Forgeries on the Bank of England, in order to pro cure recruits for the gibbet. The paper of ,Country Banks was scarcely ever forged ; and the common notion of the injurious tendency. of Country Banks was extremely groundless.— The idea that- they were afraid to prosecute, lest it should hurt theis credit, was a vulgar notion. The forger had his choice whether he would forge the Bank of England or Country Notes ; and, of course, he preferred the former, because he was less likely to be detected. The forged notes; he argued, was a tax of twenty-five thousand pounds a year, taken chiefly out of the pockets of the lower orders of the people ; and thus, by a con tinuance of the Restriction Act, the House in flicted an injury on the community that their hearts would recoil at if'it were proposed irr a di rect way. He pathetically alluded to the situa tion of women in general, who had so few means of livelihood by respectable industry; and thus so many became exposed to the artifices of those who sought to entrap them into the commission of these crimes, to .which even our laws might be said to open a door for them. Indeed the number of convictions and executions of women, for for gery and other capital crimes, must fill every heart with horror, and must prove injurious to the na tional character and hrtmanity of the British peo ple; while, if not checked, it must excite just unpopularity against our system of jurisprudence, and contempt and hatred against the upright indi viduals who administer justice, without the smallest fault on their parts. Such prosecutions are peculiarly odious, because whole families might be ,brought to he tried for their lives ; and thus, whether the system were just and necessary or not, .it was most abhorrent. The Hots. Gen denials then commented in severe language on the privilege assumed by the Bank, or their prosecu tor, of selecting those they intended tb bring home the charge-t-O;.frontrhase. they prosecuted for the minor offen:ce.of having such notes in theit pos session, and for which the latter were only trans ported, while the former were hanged. This de parture from the usual- mode was.a•proof of the Ondtitude of forgeries, and they found it was im possible to adhere to the ancient policy, which would eau , e all the criminals to be hanged; if con victed. He wished to see the country retorts to the state in which it was befisre the Restriction Act ; and it the House shrunk from an inquiry into this subject, they must take upon themselves the blood that will yet be shed on such an account. It was his intention to move for a Select and Secret Committee of Inquiry after the motion on the affairs of the Bank had been disposed of; that it might he seen how the money expended in such prosecutions was employed ; whether the means adopted were the most fair and honourable, or whether rewards were not given to the most in famous, despicable, and infernal wretches, who acted as spies, and were induced to facilitate the commission of these crimes by others ; and if so, he would say, that money so employed was ex 'tended in the corruption and perversion of justice. lie concluded with moving for a series of ac counts, containing the total nominal value 'of forged .Bank of England notes, from. the lst 'of January, 1816, to the 18th of April, 1818, of the number of persons prosecuted by the Bank within that time; the total nomber:of Bank notes dis covered to be forged ; and accounts of the whole expences of prosecuting the persons apprehended. Mr. MANNINO admitted the correctness of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman's statements of the number of prosecutions at the ,different periods ; but insisted that the prosecutions Wad beets greater on the part of the Mint than of the Bank, 'as they consisted of those for imitating the dollars. He did not know a single instance of any project sub mitted to the Bank, for improving their notes, that bad not. received the fullest . cousideration. He should resist the motion for the account of the expences of the prosecutions, as interfering with the private concerns of the Bank. Sir C. MORDAUNT said, the people of Birming ham were deeply aggrieved by the uumber of these forgeries. They considered their character at stake, and were about to present a Petition to the House on the subject. Alderman Woof) considered the motion for the expences to be the most important point, as it in volved the life and liberty of the subject. He was convinced that nine persons out of ten had been inveigled into the commission of the crime. He alluded to the hard case of. Mary Skelton, whose infamous brother had entrapped her, and who had been suffered to - escape by the Officer who had him its custody. Mr. GRENFELL expressed his surprise that Mr. Tilloch's invention had not beets adopted. Some thing ought immediately to - be done to give a greater degree of security to the public. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER defended the conduct of the Bank Directors, and considered the insinuation of the Hon and Learned Gentle man as to their employing spies, to be the must unjust aspersion that had ever been thrown on an independent and meritorious body of men. He hoped the Hon. Gentleman would explain some parts of his speech that'bore hard on the judicial system of tire country. Mr. BENNET coin - pared the selecting of cases for punishment by transportation, from those in tended for the utmost severity of the law, with compromising of felony. It was well known that the Bank gave 151. for every apprehension. • The whole. system was disgraceful to the people of England. Mr. Thompson, Mr. Dickenson, and Mr. Ba bington, severally spoke its favour of the motions, and'against the system pursued by the Batik in detaining the Forged Notes, and even counte nancing assaults upon individuals. General THORNTON expressed his anxiety for the success of the Hon. Member's motion. He bad the highest respect for the Gentlemen of the Bank, but he could not but believe that they were too Much under the contront of their own officers.— lie was surprised that the Directors themselves had not moved for a Committee to spew that no thing better could be done on their part. Mr. B. SHAW thought that the Bank ought to have done more than it had clone to prevent the increase of forgeries. Mr. 11. DAVIS answered the assertion, that if the notes had been better executed they would, not be so often forged, by stating, that he had seen notes issued by a private Banker, executed by a most distinguished Artist, which had been so completely forged, that, brought before him, he could nut distinguish the false from the true one. Mr. S. THORNTON said, several inventions bad been submitted to the Bank to prevent forgeries— some were fouad not likely to answer, and others Were still tinder consideration. The Bank had acted with much lenity, and had never expended large sums to induce to crime, that offenders Might be brought to punishment. - - • Sir J. MACKINTOSH, in reply, disclaimed all in tention of treating the Judges, or the Bank Di . rectors, with disrespect. He had spoken akainst a severe administration of the law, hut of the Judges be had meant to speak with the rev"rence he felt. He was at a loss to conceive hoo-e any thing that he had tittered could be so tortured as to appear to convey a meaning in any way disre spectful to the Judges. He considered the highest respect to be due to them, so long as they were nor objects of punishment—for with Judges there could be no medium—they must either be entitled to veneration, or become objects of puni•hment. The motions of the Hon. Gentleman were then severally put and agreed to. The Mock Auction Duty Bill and the Bank Resttiction Continuance Bill were severally post poned ; •the former to Wednesday next, the latter to Friday. The Report of the Committee of Ways and- Means was brought'up. The Resolutions were agreed to, after 4 le-tt, Words from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and ordered to be taken into further consideration on Friday. • ADJOURNMENT OVER THURSDAY. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose to give notice, that he should-this day (Wednesday) move, that the House at its rising should adjourn till Friday. The House adjourned at Half-past One o'Clo4 this Morning. From the LONDON•GAZETTE, APRIL 21. Carlton-House, April 17, 1818.
